I remember the feeling I had when I reached the last page of my first comic and realised I was left with a cliffhanger.

I HAD to get the next issue.

Fortunately for me it was a 14 part story, so by the time I got to the end of it I was well and truly sucked into comicbookdom.

I guess it wasn't long after that, that I turned to drawing my own comics. I was inspired. Something about the superhero genre had grabbed me and slapped me in the face a few times.

In these books we are shown the extremes, the best and worst a person can be. Someone putting everything on the line for something they believe is right. Standing up when everyone else backs down.

University and work came along and my comics were relocated to the attic.

For 5 years I dabbled in other things. But there was always that nagging feeling I was missing something.

I sometimes marvel at the way things can fall into place when you least expect it. Stuck in a dead end job, I picked up my pen and started doodling on my pad. That was it. A joy I'd forgotten years before was back.

Things have been progressing naturally from then and I am very proud to be working with the talented individuals at Shox Studios.
